Variety of Stun Guns Makes It Easy to Choose

Stun guns have been around for decades. Early models were bulky and crude. Some of those primitive models were even used as cattle prods. Since that time electronics have been refined considerably. The new generation of stun guns has undergone many changes:

• Size – Stun guns range in size from eighteen-inch stun batons to tiny little units small enough to fit in a pack of cigarettes.

• Shape – Early models are such a handful that even law enforcement officers avoid them because of their bulkiness. Modern day electronic engineers have miniaturized circuitry so that they can be packed in a broad range of shapes such as cell phones, flashlights, and palm-sized models.

• Power – Modern stun guns are usually powered by lithium batteries which are very reasonable in price and are available virtually everywhere. These batteries can deliver from 30,000 to one million volts. Since the greater the power the less contact time is required for it to be effective, get the highest voltage you can afford. That one element could mean life or death to you.

• Price – Stun guns range in price from $50 to several hundred dollars. Go for the most powerful voltage you can afford in the size and type unit that best fits your hand and your needs.
